Fashion week is an event in the fashion industry that lasts for a week. Fashion designers and clothing brands participate in the event to display their items and latest collections on clothes, footwear and accessories. The crux of fashion week is to know the hottest and trendiest clothing styles in the world of fashion.

It was in 1920’s when fashion shows began to circulate in New York and were held in restaurants during break time. Fashion show was more like a fashion play where event organizers used only a single theme and a narrative commentary script. The first New York Fashion Week occurred in 1943 in aiming to distract consumer’s attention from French Fashion when people were unable to visit Paris because of the World War II. The fashion week started as a Press Week when American people were unable to travel to Paris.

The phenomenon of Press Week ushered the creation of Vogue and other fashion magazines.

Meanwhile, the four capitals of fashion week are New York, London, Paris and Milan, although fashion weeks are also held in other countries. Autumn and winter collections are shown in the fashion week. Fashion weeks are held months before a season to allow sneak preview on the latest fashion and trend. Fashion weeks are convened twice a year. The launch of fashion week differs on the season and the place.

One of the most awaited and biggest Fashion Weeks is London’s Fashion Week. London Fashion Week is a public showcase of different clothing brands that occur twice a year in Somerset House London, England, usually in February and September. The first London Fashion Week occurred in 1984.

One of the clothing brands that participated in the Fashion Week is the Show Love Clothing. It is an eco-conscious clothing label that produces apparels focusing on London’s culture and style of clothing. Show Love Clothing is not only a clothing manufacturer, yet the company also organizes education forums and events for a healthy lifestyle. Show Love Clothing company reached other states such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles.

London Fashion Week is not only profiting the fashion industry but the economy as well. The industry is claimed to be the third’s largest industry in London, next to telecommunications and real estate. Furthermore, the fashion industry generated over 800,000 jobs for people (especially young women who constituted 70% of the labor force). London’s Fashion Week contributed roughly £21 million to London’s economy.

Fashion is a little something that most people don't genuinely grasp too much about. It's probably a great thing that many people don't worry very much about it, but it's also how individuals find themselves in trouble with fashions and trends.

If you are not sure about something, it is easy to fall victim to these trends and fluctuating styles. More often than not, a style or craze is launched in one area of the nation and it could take weeks or months for it to make it across every state.

By the time it gets to the other coast, often times the styles and trends where it all originated have by this time switched. the majority of fashions and fads start on the east or west coast and then make their way inland and across the country. What may perhaps look normal in California, might be novel in New York and place you and your personal style apart from the group.

Despite the fact that many unique trends and fads come and go, there are a couple of staples in the fashion world that never go out of trend.

One of those things is the t-shirt. T-shirts have been around for a long time and many people wear one at least once a week, yet a lot of individuals wear one daily.

There are a collection of reasons behind the fame of the t-shirt, but for almost all individuals it comes down to the simple fact that they are so comfy and easy to wear. You do not have to hassle with a t-shirt; you simply put it on and go about your business.

You can easily show your fashion and attitude with a t-shirt and by what is printed on the shirt. On occasion when you meet a new person, their t-shirt is more interesting than they are and you always remember what was on the t-shirt instead of what the person said.

T-shirts are also excellent to extract your concept. When you're a small business, you can't do much greater than having your name and logo printed on one and worn throughout the town. You could even design and style your own shirts and sell them or give them away at special activities and meetings. Picture having a family reunion and everyone getting a matching t-shirt with a special design and style. Or what if you were having a special event and everybody that participated received a commemorative t-shirt to mark the event. There are numerous ways to use the promoting capability of the t-shirt.

Have you ever seen funny tshirts and thought that you can design a Tshirt much funnier than that? Well now you can. If you are interested in designing your very own shirt check out www.finroo.com.

Mulberry showed their Spring 2011 handbag collection earlier today during New York Fashion Week. Mulberry’s line of classic and simple handbags is coveted by Fashionistas around the world who value both quality and classic style. Supermodel Kate Moss has been photographed numerous times wearing Mulberry’s classic handbags and she has appeared in many ad campaigns for the design house.

There was also a one handle tote with detachable shoulder strap shown in pale blue. Mulberry also included a quilted chain strap shoulder bag on the runway which was a little too close in style to Chanel‘s famous 2.55 handbag.

There was also a leopard print handbag with a long strap, making the bag hit at the botton of the hip bone on the model. The leopard print handbag was a stark move away from the classic and expected designs Mulberry normally shows every season. Perhaps this is Mulberry’s foray into trendier waters.

Fashionistas like the idea of Mulberry showing more fashion-forward designs. Mulberry’s classic bags are nice and always needed in a Fashionistas wardrobe, but the more trendier styles are highly coveted and could create an “it” bag frenzy for the design house.

Stay tuned as I continue to cover the handbags found on the runway during New York Fashion Week!
